I don't know of one specifically, there was still underground nuclear testing at the time so there might have been several that year. If you are thinking of the reactor explosion at Chernobyl that year, that was not a nuclear explosion, just a large steam explosion when the coolant water flash vaporized blowing the roof off the reactor. Once the graphite moderator in the core was exposed to air it caught fire, this was the worst part of the disaster as burning graphite is nearly impossible to put out and the smoke was carrying all kinds of radioactive material from deep in the core.

The Chernobil Disaster was cause by what?
An explosion and subsequent fire caused the Chernobyl Disaster back in 1986. It's often considered one of the worst incidents involving a nuclear power plant in history.
In 1986 a nuclear explosion released radiation that killed hundreads of people in?
The 1986 steam explosion and fire in Chernobyl was NOT a nuclear explosion.The plant in Ukraine was undergoing tests with its safety systems disabled. An unexpected surge in reactivity caused a pressure spike in the cooling system, bursting its steam pipes and ejecting much of the core through the roof. The exposed graphite moderator in the core then caught fire. The smoke from that fire carried hundreds of tons of long halflife radioisotopes all over Europe and eventually around the world.
What happen at chernobyl?
In 1986, a failed test led to its reactor being shutdown. This caused a large explosion that sent out harmful levels of radiation throughout the community. Everyone who lived in Chernobyl was forced to immediately evacuate the area with no possible return.
How can you short out a radio?
Remove the radio's covers then place a piece of wire on the back of your radio's motherboard. Connect your radio to electricity and switch it on. I hope you see a nuclear explosion.

Chernobyl
What are the method of controlling nuclear explosion?
nuclear explosion?
How many feet was radioactive material shot in the nuclear explosion at the Russian Chernobl plant in 1986 if radioative material was shot five kilometers?
Radioactive material was shot 16,404.1995 feet in the Chernobl explosion in 1986.
What happened some years ago in Russia from nuclear explosion?
When and what explosion? One of the nuclear test shots. If so which?Remember Chernobyl was not a nuclear explosion, it was a steam explosion and graphite fire.
Where did the Japanese nuclear explosion occur?
The only nuclear explosions in Japan were the two in WW2, on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.However I believe you meant the Japanese nuclear reactorexplosion, which was not a nuclear explosion it was either a steam explosion and/or a hydrogen/oxygen chemical explosion. That occurred at Fukushima.
What are the accidents during the nuclear reactor?
Thankfully there haven't been many nuclear accidents, however when they do happen they can be severe the worst nuclear accident/disaster was the explosion of reactor No.4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear power plant in 1986 on April the 26th.
Is it possible for a nuclear plant to experience a nuclear explosion?
no
Who was present in 1986?
1986 was 28 years ago. Some major events of 1986 include the nuclear accident in the Soviet Union's Chernobyl power station, the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger, and the death of Georgia O'Keeffe.
What do you call the explosion called from an atomic bomb?
